The helmsman of the aurinegris was clear on what to expect in this duel against the meringues, while looking at him with a thermometer to evaluate the work of his players.
“You lose against a team that takes advantage of two situations in which they always do. I always said that this game was the thermometer to look for better things for the team and will be. The club tried and we are calm, the team will give more. This is the second game I just played, “said El Potro.
From the point of view of the Car technician, his evaluation after the match against the champion twice is that his eleventh is not one hundred percent and needs to improve. “As we saw the team, I think we are over 80% we want. We will try to have a higher volume of the game in the middle of the field, we will be selected under the age of 23 and we will match the players we have. We can’t be satisfied, we played good games of fixed tactics like the goal and 70% of the team finished in that frame “.
Regarding the requests for arbitration, he said: “Finally, the claims are part of the show, there are situations because my assistant got angry, it is part of the show and the referees understand those circumstances when they make these assessments and it is a shame that this goal has not been validated. I claim that the team had to improve as we did in the first 10 minutes. You have to keep working to improve and not think about referees. “
And in terms of the variations he had to make in the game. “The return came from an injury in the same area already hit and we decided not to take risks, we made changes in search of an improvement. I think we have made an improvement, but now people need to get used to seeing these young people, because this will be work. You need to have improvements with Jhow Defensive and in the position we were looking for. The changes were due to injury, and the other is daily bread. In that part I see that the team generated a few games “.
Gutiérrez also pointed out that: “We knew what Olimpia could present to us in the live game, he manages the match hours and we had to get him out of that area and sometimes we succeeded. There are many things to save and the champion’s confrontation has these conditions, it would not exist. These types of games are classics that are played like this, sometimes football, sometimes hard. Real Spain must improve in order to compete with those who follow ”.
When asked about the criticism that could emerge from the Aztec press for his debut in the Honduran league with a loss to Olimpia, he was honest. “I think there are football situations. In Mexico they are demanding and it’s good, as well as in Honduras, all these are appreciated. I thought the press is an integral part of sports like football. There will certainly be good and bad reviews, but I am guided by those phrases of philosophers: when you win you are the best and when you lose you are not the worst.This is not the Real Spain I hope to offer at the end of the tournament, this is the beginning, it is my hallmark of a lifetime.
And he closed by taking stock of what can be expected from his reinforcements. “As for Rosas, there is no doubt that decisions have to be made and I wanted to see how the Vuelta and Mario developed together and that’s why Rosas joined. We will have Ramiro Rocca in the next game and it will depend on the working time, but we will consider him against Platense. Rosas had one and put it on, but they canceled it, but this needs to improve. “
